Rejection is redirection

When things don't work out, there's a reason.

Let me give you an example:

A few years ago I tried to grow on TikTok but it just wasn't clicking. 😫

I felt embarrassed that my videos weren't 'popping off' - and eventually I quit.

The reason it didn't work was because my content was bad. It hurts to admit that, but at the same time there was a good reason.

Turns out, cramming all my thoughts into 45 seconds just isn't me. And my content reflected this misalignment πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I'm in my element when I can really dig in to a subject and give useful advice.

So I stopped wasting my time in places where I wasn't being my authentic self. πŸ‘‹πŸ»

And now I always remember:

β†’ Not every platform will vibe with your personal strengths.

β†’ Playing to your natural communication style unlocks your potential.

β†’ It's a good thing that different platforms have different types of audiences.

Failure with TikTok wasn't a dead end - it redirected me to platforms like LinkedIn and Youtube.

Where my authenticity and depth can actually thrive. And where I meet so many more people that have similar goals! 🫢🏼

So don't force yourself into boxes that diminish you. Figure out where you can shine as your true self, then go all in!
